Hi friend, welcome to Episode 18 of The Fit Flamingo Podcast

I believe so much in our mission here at The Fit Flamingo and have somehow convinced my cutie lil husband to do the craziest thing with me… He quit his full time job two weeks ago. We moved out of our apartment. We sold all of our furniture. We put everything else in storage and we're gearing up for our biggest adventure next.   SOOOO what's next!? We'll spend the next year traveling the United States, staying in all the cities we've always wanted to travel to while living in Airbnbs and running The Fit Flamingo full time TOGETHER. AH!

If you've been around the health and wellness space long enough you would have heard this term, “listen to you body” and it sounds really cool but what in the world does it actually mean?   In this episode, I teach you how to tune into and listen to your body. Because you already are so intuitive. But we've gotten away from trusting ourselves, from listening intently to what our body is telling us.   So I wanna give you your power back.   Also, in this episode I share how to know when to rest and when to push though. This applies to workouts, people pleasing, setting boundaries, hustle culture, and quite honestly anything that requires you to trade in how you feel to accomplish something else. I think you'll leave our time together feeling empowered and equipped with tools that sincerely help you feel good. So what are we waiting for? Let's to dive into the episode.   ⭐️ SHOW NOTES ⭐️   Have a specific wellness question?

If you're struggling with painful gut issues, chronic pain, brain fog, and low energy, this episode is for you. Five years ago I was right where you are, finding it hard to make it through the day pain free. I was constantly saying no to things I wanted to do and felt trapped in my body - all because I never felt good physically. But little by little, I started healing my relationship with food and learned how to move my body in a way that actually feels good. I put small feel-good habits into action and was shocked at how even just healing my mindset and having fun during the day helped my chronic pain and gut issues. By focusing everyday on movement, mindset, nourishment, productivity, and having fun I was able to discover tools that actually work and help me feel good. Even on my worst days, I feel equipped and empowered. And I want to pass that feeling along because you are worthy of feeling good in your own skin. I hope that in sharing what works for me that it will help you discover things that could work for you, too.
